The Diplomatic Balance Sheet in Russia.

Modern diplomacy is international business. The war, and even more the peace, has brought diplomacy down to earth in the minds of the common people of all countries. Since the U.S. is at peace with the Soviet Union, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson has been forced to contribute money from his private fund for emergency uses to support American troops in Siberia and Archangel. In the year ending May 1, 1919, American exports to the Soviet Union had fallen from $400,000,000 to $7,000,000. The loss to British business is greater in proportion to the larger share of exports to the Soviet Union that the English had captured before the war.
